haKuna Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I've completed my first Whole30 on Monday. Today is my Day 3 of re-introduction. I am literally craving some chocolate! Like, a delicious, good chocolate (See's Chocolate, Trader Joe's Dark chocolate covered caramels). I'm a female and have already had the time of the month last week. So, I'm just curious if this is just me. Literally drinking Decaf Coffee to get me by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whole30 Certified Coach littleg Posted November 25, 2019 Whole30 Certified Coach Share Posted November 25, 2019 What did you reintroduce first? Have you reintroduced sugar yet? If the craving came *after* you reintroduced sugar in a different form that might tell you something about where your chocolate cravings are coming from (sugar often begets sugar...). Also, check out this post Like Shannon says, if you want to reintroduce chocolate on a specific day I'd skip the TJ caramels - they likely have a bunch of other ingredients (I'm assuming, I could be wrong). If you are a TJ fan they sell these dark chocolate batons that have just 3 ingredients and come in a fairly normal sized portion (vs a full 100g bar). That is actually my go-to for when I want some chocolate! I don't know about See's but lots of chocolates have soy as an emulsifier so keep an eye out for that. And go for the darkest you can enjoy! TJ also sells a 100% bar - Montezuma's something or other but you *really* need to like dark chocolate to enjoy that https://forum.whole30.com/topic/43287-chocolate-when-to-reintroduce/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
